A Treasury spokesman said the review would look at how the National Health Service commissions work, the road building initiative and the housing regeneration initiative, plus nine others that are still to be chosen.

He said the review, by Yvette Cooper, chief secretary to the Treasury, would include IT as part of a wider attempt to improve the value received from the contracts.

Cooper would not review the government's controversial £5.4bn ID card project, nor would it examine the Gateway reviews associated with the project, he said.

The government spends about £14bn a year on IT and related services. According to National Audit Office reports, in the past 10 years, billions have gone on IT systems that have run over budget, failed completely or run insecurely.
